Dissertation Research: Navajo Computer Use

希尔/雪莉9300310 本项目将研究信息技术在美洲原住民发展和提高文化自主性方面的应用。 研究将主要在纳瓦霍印第安人保留地进行，并进行多层次的分析。 这些级别包括：1）识别计算机和相关人工制品的用途; 2）对计算机使用实例的微观分析，重点关注纳瓦霍对话模式与计算机软件施加的交互需求之间的关系; 3）关注技术引入的经济和政治环境。 方法将包括民族志观察和访谈技术，以及使用视频和音频记录（和转录），以捕捉和识别行为模式和问题的互动在微观分析层面。 结果将是感兴趣的美洲原住民与主流文化的关系的研究;文化，科学和技术方案;话语为中心的方法来文化变革;和人机交互和种族间的沟通研究。 *** v &t 2 不 & | PR +D T y ZX + E y ：r w ; v V N c u D D &D ! ^D T 2 + & \ 6 8 N u P ; w 4 4 N v & 2 不 不 TJ & 4个p v 一 不 4 R ı & ti & 4 不 K v 不 4 B 8 & E S F _^ZY X SQW = u & ! !

Hill/Sherry 9300310 This project will examine the use of information technology in Native American efforts toward development and increased cultural autonomy. Research will take place primarily on the Navajo Indian Reservation, with multiple levels of analysis being pursued. These levels include: 1) identification of the uses to which computers and related artifacts are applied; 2) microanalysis of instances of computer use, focusing on the relationship between Navajo conversational patterns and the interactive demands imposed by computer software; and 3) attention to the economic and political environments into which technology is introduced. Methods will include ethnographic observation and interview techniques, as well as the use of video and audio recordings (and transcription) to capture and identify patterns of behavior and problems of interaction at the micro analytic level. Results will be of interest to studies of Native American relations with the dominant culture; culture, science and technology programs; discourse centered approaches to culture change; and studies in human-computer interaction and inter ethnic communication. *** v & t 2 T & | PR&+D & T y ZX&+E & U y : r w ; v V N c u & D & D & D ! ^& D & T 2 + & \ 6 8 N u P ; w 4 4 N v & 2 T t tJ & 4 p v a t 4 r ı & ti & 4 t k v t 4 B 8 & E s F _^ZY X SQW& = u & ! !
